App crashes on iPad

After launching the app connects to the gateway, shows something on blinds and gives a blue screen.

Timer now buggy

Larsnordstrl

Since this update timers have now started going on and off an hour earlier than they are set to.

Requires some kind of remote to use.

You can't pair bulbs directly to the gateway. It requires you to also buy a remote. I bought a gateway and the bulbs I needed without buying said remote so now I have a bunch of equipment that is basically useless until I get ahold of a remote. Nearest ikea is 4 hours away from me so it's not like I can just run to pick one up. Real stupid design.

Works well until latest update

Latest update adds more products but now the app asks you what you want to install every couple of times you open it and there is no exit option. Only thing you can do is shut down the app. Seems like sloppy but testing. It’s really come a long way in the last year too bad they still need to do some work.

Can’t move remote from room to room

This app allows you to move light bulbs from one room to another, but does not let you move remotes! I want to have two remotes control the same group of smart devices in one room! Please let users move remotes from room to room just like lights.

Don’t buy these lights

These lights are the biggest pain! I wish we had just stuck to our light sensing bulbs. They are constantly having to be reset. And there’s no way to set an automatic dark to light you have to choose a time which in our part of the world changes a lot from winter to summer. They are constantly on when they’re not supposed to be on and then it’s really difficult to figure out how to turn them off and reset it I wish I could get my money back

Bulb turning on randomly

Purpleskittles17

I have 3 bulbs and a remote. I travel frequently so I’ve enjoyed having bulbs throughout my home on various timers for well over a year now without issue. Lately one bulb has been turning itself on at random times. I turn it off with the remote or app and it turns back on a short while later. I’ve completely deleted the on off schedule for that specific bulb and it continues to turn itself on. I am not having any issues with the other bulbs and timer schedules in my home.

Current Update

KaitKatBar

After the latest update I’m unable to even get past the loading screen of “Connecting to your gateway”.

Latest update crashed everything!!!

Ikea!!! Are you reading your reviews!!! This last update was HORRIBLE!! None of my lights work and now this horrible app will not let me re-connect my remotes. Bring back the original app until you figure out what you are doing - or stay out of the electronics market!!!!

In general good but..

I really like Ikea’s smart home products but they are still far from being a great. The setup procedure requires multiple attempts per device, it is not the smoothest process. The new smart blinds are not well integrated into the system, e.g. there is no way to add them to an existing room or move them from room, and they do not appear in HomeKit. Why is needed the signal repeater for the blinds to work? The panels make an unpleasant constant noise under certain brightness and tone settings. I think that in general it is nice product and there have been incremental improvements but sometimes they feel too slow.
